GasGas SM 700: supermoto with a 692 cm³ single-cylinder engine
GasGas SM 700 — the 2022 supermoto motorcycle with a single-cylinder 692 cm³ engine, technically akin to the KTM 690 SMC R and Husqvarna 701 Supermoto. We'll delve into its tech, purpose, and what to check when buying used.
SM 700 in brief
SM 700 — a lightweight, lively, and dynamic supermoto: high ground clearance, smaller road wheels with road tyres, and plenty of power. It's designed for city streets, winding roads, and track days.
Compared to a classic enduro, the supermoto handles more firmly on the road, while compared to a sports bike, it's lighter and more playful. It's suited to experienced riders who enjoy spirited riding.
What to expect from the model
The SM 700 debuted in 2022 and is essentially a single-generation model. It shares tech with other KTM Group models, so spare parts and service availability are good.
In the used market, this model is still young, so most examples will have low mileage. Therefore, it's crucial to check for signs of drops, service history, and how it was used.
Engine and gearbox
The engine is a 692 cm³ single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, with around 74 hp and around 73 Nm of torque. It's powerful for such a light motorcycle, so acceleration is brisk.
The gearbox is a 6-speed manual with a slipper clutch. It features electronic controls: riding modes, traction control, and ABS (including cornering ABS). Due to its power, the motorcycle falls into category A.
What to check when buying a used SM 700
Single-cylinder engines work hard, so check the oil change history, whether the engine runs smoothly and if there are any unusual noises. Ask if the manufacturer's service schedule has been followed.
Inspect the frame, forks, and wheels — supermotos are often ridden aggressively and may have scratches or dents. Check the brakes, tyres, and chain with sprockets.
Test the electronics: riding modes, traction control, ABS, and the instrument cluster. Request the service history and check if the manufacturer-recommended work has been done.
